Pam came out of surgery today feeling pretty good (thanks morphine). That was around 11am and now, nearly 6 hours later, she really feels like she had surgery this morning. This could be a very long night. She is a trooper though, a veteran of many medical procedures and will be alright. She is very relieved to have the lumps out of her body. A section was removed from the lymph area and two lumps were removed from her chest. We are hoping by Wednesday to hear from her surgeon about the pathology report. Then Friday morning Pam's oncologist meets with her to discuss the details of what is next. Thanks for praying her through this day.
Pam was well cared for as our friend Lisa scheduled herself on her day off to take care of Pam in both pre-op and post-op. That means so much to Pam and really helps her to get through a rather tough and surreal moment as her battle with cancer intensifies again. She has much confidence in her surgeon and oncologist and trusts they are taking all the right steps to help her battle this disease. Prior to surgery I snapped a pic of Pam and Lisa. Don't they look great? Again, don't be deceived, cancer isn't actually this glamorous and Pam doesn't even get to keep the gowns.

So thankful that surgery is over and went well. We will continue to send up many prayers for all of you this week as you await results. And Pam, you do look way too good in a hospital gown waiting for surgery!
